Wild Walks – ‘adventures for children to take their adults on’ – are short walks of about 2km (taking about 2 hours), perfect for 3-7 year olds.

As a community, every two weeks, we go on adventures exploring our local green spaces in Hackney and nearby! The aim is to create an environment where children feel they have permission to play outdoors, connect with nature and have fun!

Here are the details for our upcoming Wild Walks:

• Hackney Marshes & Kingsmead Wild Walk Sunday 20 June 11am

• Woodberry Wetlands Wild Walk Sunday 4 July 11am

• Hackney Central Wild Walk Sunday 18 July 11am

• Springfield Wild Walk Sunday 1 August 11am

If you would like to join any of our Wild Walks please fill in this form, or email beth@outdoorpeople.org.uk, and Beth - our Community Coordinator - will book you and your family in. It's free!

Following the government's latest guidance on emerging from national lockdown, we are excited to announce that we will be restarting our Family Wild Walks!
